About Me

MICHELLE TURNER

Artist


My interest in art started back in high school (a few years ago now) with a lot of graphic and colourful fantasy art. My step children liked my fantasy drawings, however colourful dragons did make them a little nervous. I started drawing again in 2021 and found that I enjoyed the challenge of using ink to create images of Australian native animals. I love to immerse myself in a drawing or a painting and can remain in an art zone where I feel quite at home.

I'm an Australian and moved to Washington DC in January 2022 for my husband's work. I have recently been creating art commissions of ink house drawings and some pet portraits over the last couple of months. The commissions have varied from black and white to some with a lot more colour added. I have also created a couple of colourful pastel commissions. All of the commissions have meant something special to the owners and I feel privilaged to join them on this journey.

If you would like me to paint or draw something specific then email me at artbymichellet@gmail.com

I have a background in clinical and administrative nursing and did this in the Australian Air Force for 22 years. I have now retired from nursing and am focusing on my art business and family commitments including learning to ballroom dance and ice skate.

In my spare time I love to cook. Chefs I admire are Ottolenghi, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall (I met him at River Cottage and didn't realise at the time), Jamie Oliver, Nigella Lawson, Jo Whitton, Tenina Holder and Nikalene Riddle.

I have previously run a small business as a Thermomix consultant and still enjoy using my Thermomix to create some amazing meals. I have a passion for gardening and would like to learn more about improving soil and rotating vegetable patches. Reading, paddling, running, dog walking, yoga and gym work keep me motivated and energised to focus on my creative activities.
